(Minghui.org) To help people to understand and appreciate Falun Dafa, every year the Minghui website calls for submissions for World Falun Dafa Day. I hope fellow practitioners will cherish this opportunity by writing and submitting their cultivation experiences to validate Dafa.
The articles celebrating May 13 Falun Dafa Day that are published on Minghui are very popular. Some people have been so impressed by an article that they began to cultivate; fellow practitioners who had slacked off have made efforts to improve. Since the articles celebrating Falun Dafa Day are so effective and Dafa cultivators have benefited so much from the practice, we should overcome whatever holds us back and send in heartfelt submissions.
The call for papers points out several issues. Due to the suppression in China, some fellow practitioners—due to fear, old age, and other factors—simply stay at home studying the Fa and doing the exercises and rarely go out to raise awareness of the persecution or give people basic information about Dafa in person. Some have not distributed materials or participated in other types of truth-clarification.
As Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, what does it mean if we do not fulfill our mission, the vow we once signed with the Creator? We should all seize this opportunity to break through this selfish state in which we “only want to gain from Dafa, without doing what Dafa requires of us.”
Through Fa-study and rectifying ourselves, we will be able to understand from the heart the responsibilities of Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period. As a result, we will firmly believe in the boundless power of Dafa and believe in Master Li (Dafa's founder) while doing our best.
We are Master’s disciples and the most direct beneficiaries of Dafa. If we only take from Dafa without giving, is this what Master wants? Master hopes that Dafa disciples will successfully fulfill their mission to assist Master to save people. Master hopes that all sentient beings in the world will be saved by Dafa and enter the new universe.
The Fa-rectification of the human world will soon begin. In such an urgent situation, we should strengthen our righteous thoughts, seize the limited time, and lift our spirits to do what needs to be done.
During the nearly 24 years of the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution, we have experienced bloodshed, faced great difficulties, overcome obstacles, and never flinched or retreated. We have persevered in spreading the truth of Dafa to every corner of the world.
We can write about how we uphold the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in this corrupt and chaotic world by presenting the holy and noble quality of a practitioner; we can write down how we are guided by Dafa in our practice and the enormous changes we have made; we can write about how we overcame atheism and are now firmly on the path toward the divine after witnessing the wonder of Dafa.
Please write down what you have personally experienced on the path of Dafa cultivation so that the world can recognize that Falun Dafa is leading people to return to the true destination of life.
Please write down stories to validate the greatness of Falun Dafa. It is Dafa that generates great lives of compassion and selflessness. It is Falun Dafa that is creating the opportunity for all sentient beings to be saved in the end times.
When we write about our experience of practicing Dafa, we are selflessly and compassionately spreading the beauty of Falun Dafa to those who are in dire need of help. When we speak about the boundless merit of Dafa and Master, we also express our infinite gratitude to Dafa and Master.
I hope that more practitioners will cherish the opportunity to respond to the annual World Falun Dafa Day call for submissions.
This is my understanding at my level. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
